Neuroscience is uncovering sex influences at all levels of mammalian brain function at an accelerating rate. Unfortunately, persistent biases against the topic remain among some investigators. One is that sex influences are small and unreliable, despite the existence of no evidence supporting this general assertion. In this volume, Spets and Slotnick provide clear evidence for a consistent sex influence on one aspect of human cognition, retrieval from long-term memory.
神经科学正在以加速的速度揭示哺乳动物大脑功能各个层面的性别影响。不幸的是，一些研究人员仍然存在对该主题的持续偏见。其中一个偏见是，尽管没有证据支持这种普遍说法，但性别影响很小且不可靠。在这一卷中，Spets 和 Slotnick 提供了明确的证据，证明性别对人类认知的一个方面，即从长期记忆中检索，存在一致的影响。
